he said the bush administration has done little to quell a brewing storm among some black americans, he compared the current tension to what fueled the l.a. riots. >> in fact, even cnn's headline that day read like this, obama quiet riot could erupt like l.a. riots. joining me to talk about this is the coed terre - editor of moth magazine, monica bauer. i wondered, you know, your reaction to this video that was kind of like pumped up on the dredge report and then released on the daily caller and then made its way to fox news. just take me through the thought process, as far as you can tell, of this release of this tape. >> well, one of the things i would surmise and obviously i'm not inside the daily caller's operations, is that ever since our mitt romney video made news, everybody else has been looking around for other videos of the candidates appearing in small settings or years ago, being more candid than they might be in the public. and i think we're seeing some of the results as people dig up videos that have not been seen lately. of course, you know, as you pointed out, this pa
